First time i've actually seen a GT4 in action. That guy was driving like a pussy though, I wanted to see some flat out acceleration. **** the cliffs man, he can sacrifice himself for the sake of our viewing pleasure.

Great, another idiot who removes his airbag for the sake of a "sport" wheel. Plus, I dont appreciate spending the entire video at a 45 degree angle- I dont give a **** what he looks like.

makes me want to see some video from outside the car, instead of just hearing the revs of the engine and looking from the angle of a passed out camera man |

Hey guys this is a GT4 from Greece!
This waqs 1.8L and he did the swap and also the AWD swap!!!! The car is running with FULL rebuilt internals(HKS camshafts,Eagle Rods,pistons,Power FC,Greddy Turbo,FMIC,etc). The car is 550HP @1.7bar and at the past broke 2 times,one time was the internals and the other was a differential problem. This car is running low 11. Now the car i know that is running very healthy and its really a BEAST at Greece Drag Races:) Barbaris is the name of the guy. |

the airbag is in the center of the stock steering wheel. if you change wheels, there is no way (that i know of) to keep the driver's side airbag. nice vid. i don't see how he's driving like a "pussy" though...he got it a little squirrely out of a few of the corners, and there was quite a bit of engine noise. also, as far as sport wheels being "uber gay", have any of you driven a car with one? or have you driven a celica with one? they are quite nice especially on the celica. you wouldn't think it, but the steering wheel makes the car feel soooo much more stable in turns, and also helps control it better, because most have a lot smaller diameter. i know i love the one in my celica, and i'd never go back to a stock bus wheel... oh yeah, i also don't have airbags, but it was from a wreck. so i didn't "disable" my airbags to change the wheel.. anyway, nice find NY..hit us up if you find more.  .-John- -------------------- AIM==Mynzeyes

John, I hope you didn't think I thought they were uber ghey; but someone taking a functional airbag out just for a steering wheel (I have felt the difference, it's nice.. but..) it's stupid to do that, ESPECIALLY when you're building a car that goes that fast. If they're deployed and will cost thousands to fix, then yeah, do the aftermarket; but for gods sake; it's like an extra life- why give it up before you have to? |

Maybe he tripped an airbag sensor doing dash mods and had to replace the wheel
 Yeah, the exterior car shots are pretty good, but I fell off my chair trying to watch the interior shots. How hard is it to mount an extra two cameras on the dash and hood? Not at all! Considering there was traffic on the road, I'm glad the guy didn't drive hard core. Punching it and yanking the wheel is a pretty cheap way to get drift. --------------------  |

)
